And more on that Goldfrapp rumor.

By Stax

The rumor making the rounds, courtesy of Moviehole.net and HollywoodNorthReport.com, is that producer Kevin McClory &#Array; the man who held enough rights to the official Bond film Thunderball to remake it as 1983's unofficial Never Say Never Again &#Array; is aiming to make yet another rogue James Bond movie.

Despite a long court battle that MGM (now part of Sony) won against McClory &#Array; the purpose of which was to prevent him from starting his own rival Bond franchise &#Array; the rumor suggests that the producer is looking to move forward on a new remake of Thunderball.

As he did by hiring ex-007 Sean Connery to star in Never Say Never Again, McClory is said to want to get Pierce Brosnan to reprise his role. Brosnan was famously dumped in favor of Daniel Craig, who stars in the forthcoming Casino Royale.

Speaking of Casino Royale, the film's composer, David Arnold, advised the BBC's 6 Music that reports of Goldfrapp recording the title song for the film are false, nothing more than an Internet hoax in his estimation.
